    <sigh> I made a boo-boo

    My boyfriend is not happy with me right now...

    I went back to the reptile store to return the live rat that my girl wouldn't eat and I didn't have the heart to freeze it (long story...posted a different thread about it...) and I left with the baby rat AND a new T....

    Anyways, all I know is it's an A. Versi and it's about a month old. I was told to feed it a cricket every 5-7 days and to give it water just drip some on my finger and run it along the edge of the container so it drips down the sides a little, every 3-4 days. Any other info would be awesome! Here are some pictures. I saw an adult of the kind it was and they are too pretty.

    It's an aboreal, so it likes hight. Humidity needs to be high, like 80. Same with temp. We would mist ours enclosure with a spray bottle being careful not to mist the T. Start with small meal worms and work up to crickets. And give it something to climb and make a "hammock" on.

    Make sure you have plenty of ventilation and the humidity is high. To feed you can get small crickets and crush the head with tongs and tong feed it if it will eat that way. Or leave it alive and grab it by the butt with tongs and tong feed it. Or crush the head of a cricket and drop it in there. Or if the cricket is small enough just drop it in there live. So many options And to water just mist one side of the vial every few days. Make sure to take out any uneaten cricket parts so they don't mold. Mold can kill your T.

    Edit: Forgot to say, congrats on your new beautiful little blue fuzz ball!!!!!! Veri's and awesome

    Can't comment other than what Jeff said, but I sure wish my wife would bring home more T's. I wouldn't be mad in the slightest.
